Software Programming Choices

There are several options to choose from when programming your

National Instruments DAQ hardware. You can use LabVIEW,

LabWindows/CVI, ComponentWorks, VirtualBench, or NI-DAQ.

National Instruments Application Software

LabVIEW features interactive graphics, a state-of-the art user interface,

and a powerful graphical programming language. The LabVIEW Data

Acquisition VI Library, a series of VIs for using LabVIEW with

National Instruments DAQ hardware, is included with LabVIEW. The

LabVIEW Data Acquisition VI Library is functionally equivalent to the

NI-DAQ software.

LabWindows/CVI features interactive graphics and a state-of-the-art

user interface, and uses the ANSI standard C programming language.

The LabWindows/CVI Data Acquisition Library, a series of functions

for using National Instruments DAQ hardware, is included with

LabWindows/CVI. The LabWindows/CVI Data Acquisition Library is

functionally equivalent to the NI-DAQ software.

ComponentWorks contains tools for data acquisition and instrument

control built on NI-DAQ driver software. ComponentWorks provides a

higher-level programming interface for building virtual instruments

through standard OLE controls and DLLs. With ComponentWorks, you

can use all of the configuration tools, resource management utilities,

and interactive control utilities included with NI-DAQ.
